Each country starts at 100 in the base year. A value of 150 means its basket became 50% more expensive; it does not compare absolute living costs between countries. Missing observations remain gaps in the chart.
US: the 2025 annual average covers 11 months. BLS did not publish October data because of the federal government funding lapse. BLS methodology ↗
Calculations use the ratio of annual CPI indices. This is a statistical basket, without interest or income changes; personal expenses may change differently. A dash means the selected year’s index is unavailable.
Poland: the price index is chained from published GUS annual ratios, with 2000 = 100. Rounding makes basket calculations approximate.
A burger’s price as a window into currency purchasing power.
6.22 USD
Currency undervalued by this measure
Raw variant, without income adjustmentWe compare the burger’s price at the survey exchange rate with its price in the reference market. A result of −20% means a price 20% lower.

Monthly readings link directly to releases from Eurostat and national statistical agencies. Publication status and seasonal adjustment are retained.
Year-on-year compares a month with the same month one year earlier. Month-on-month compares consecutive months; seasonal adjustment is labelled. Annual history compares annual averages. IMF forecasts remain a separate dataset.
Reference month, publication date and verification date are different. A newer check does not create a new observation.
Poland: the price index is chained from published GUS annual ratios, with 2000 = 100. Rounding makes basket calculations approximate.
Country forecasts: April 2026 WEO database. Monthly releases can be newer.
CPI tracks a broad consumer basket. Annual observations allow year-to-year comparisons but do not replace the latest monthly releases. National baskets and methods may differ.
